Dear Friends,

Welcome Back!

This season you will find the return of two of our all-time favorite events, Haunted Hacienda and La Quinta Artists Open Studio Tour! We are so excited to have them back on the schedule!

All of our annual December events are once again offered to celebrate the holiday season.

We are very proud to present, for the first time, two special speakers. Elizabeth Paige of the Native American Land Conservancy and Anthropologist Bruce Love. We are honored to also have Sean Milanovich of the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians do a blessing for Bruce's talk.

Please join us for all these wonderful events!

There will be more educational and fun programs coming later in the season so look for our next email.

I appreciate all of you and look forward to seeing you again!

Sincerely,

Linda Williams

President
